Great Use of Taxpayer Money

While I'm here I might as well vent. Can somebody explain why the U.S. government felt compelled to prosecute Roger Clemens for perjury on the basis of the testimony of a serial liar? The incompetence of the prosecution was of biblical proportions. I have no use for Clemens, but please, use some judgment! And those who would argue that the only reason he got off the hook was that he could afford to lawyer-up with the top of the line, remember that the amount of money and resources the U.S. Attorney can bring to bear is essentially limitless.

Governments have unlimited funds and twisted agendas. When they decide they want to bring someone down or make an example of someone they'll bring the weight of the system down on that person.The amazing thing isn't that they pursued this, it's that Clemens got off.
